BIDDING SYSTEM AND CONTRACTING OF WORKS

THE IMPLANTATION OF THE BIDDING SYSTEM FOR WORKS AND SERVICES BY THE SAO PAULO HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT WAS DESCRIBED. THIS SYSTEM IS BASED ON PREQUALIFICATION OF THE FIRMS (BY SPECIFIC FIELD AND CLASS), THE RECORDING OF THEIR PREVIOUS PERFORMANCES, THE VERIFICATION OF THEIR FINANCIAL AVAILABILITY IN EACH BIDDING. THE SYSTEM PROVIDED THE ADMINISTRATION WITH SAFE MEANS OF JUDGMENT, DECREASED THE POSSIBILITIES OF LEGAL APPEAL, ALLOWED FOR IMMEDIATE QUALIFICATION OF THE PARTICIPANTS, FACILITATING AND SPEEDING THE ACTUAL BIDDING PROCESS, THE CLASSIFICATION AND JUDGMENT OF THE PROPOSALS. THE SYSTEM CAN BE IMPROVED AND COMPLETED IF THE INFORMATION ON PREVIOUS COMMITTMENTS, TAKEN BY THE FIRMS WITH ALL PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS, ARE OFFICIALLY PUBLICIZED. FOR THIS PURPOSE, IT IS NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH A CENTRAL ORGAN IN CHARGE OF (1) REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OF THE FIRMS, (2) CLASSIFICATION OF THE FIRMS ACCORDING TO THEIR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE, OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL CAPABILITY, (3) RECORDING OF PERFORMANCE OF THE FIRMS IN PREVIOUS WORKS AND SERVICES, AND (4) COLLECTING, PROCESSING AND DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION TO ALL PUBLIC ORGANIZATION CONCERNED. /RRI/
